Problem:

10. The average of the two numbers is x + y. If one

number is equal to x, find the other number.

A. y C. 2x - y
B. x + 2y D. x – 2y
Solution:

Average=
let a be x; given average= x + y
Hence;
x+y=
(x + y = )2
2x + 2y = x + b
2x + 2y – x = x – x + b
x + 2y = b
b = x + 2y
Answer:

10. The average of the two numbers is x + y. If one

number is equal to x, find the other number.

A. y C. 2x - y
B. x + 2y D. x – 2y
Problem:

16. If x < 0 and = 25, then is:

A. 3 C. 2
B. 1 D.
Solution:
x < 0;
Hence;

=0
(3x – 7) (3x + 3) = 0
(3x – 7)= 0 (3x + 3) = 0;
3x -7 + 7= 7 3x + 3 - 3 = -3
(3x = 7) (3x = -3)
x=>0 x = -1 ; -1 < 0

Therefore: = = 2+1 = 3
Answer:

16. If x < 0 and = 25, then is:

A. 3 C. 2
B. 1 D.
Problem:

27. Which of the following is NOT true about

the sum of two consecutive odd integers?

A. It is divisible by four. C. It is always divisible by one.

B. It is even. D. It is only divisible by twelve.
Solution:

Let 3 and 5 be the consecutive odd integers;

3+5=8
- divisible by four;
- it is even;
- always divisible by 1;
however, it is not only divisible by twelve.

Problem:

40. WHAT TERM WILL MAKE A PERFECT

SQUARE TRINOMIAL?

A. 12xy C.
B. 5 + D. 30xy
Solution:

Inserting will make it perfect square

trinomial.
check:

=
+ (2)
Answer:

40. What term will make a perfect square

trinomial?

A. 12xy C.
B. 5 + D. 30xy
Problem:

44. If a and b is any two positive real

numbers, then

A. A b < a + b C. a b = a + b
B. -b > a + b D. b – a > a + b
Solution:

a and b are any two positive real numbers.

let a = 5 and b = 3;
B . -b > a + b ; -3 > 5 + 3 (not true)
C. a b = a + b ; 5 -3 = 5 + 3 (not true)
D. b – a > a + b ; 3 – 5 > 5 + 3 (not true)
A. A b < a + b ; if A = a, then, 5 - 3 < 5 + 3 (true)
Answer:

44. If a and b is any two positive real

numbers, then

A. A b < a + b C. a b = a + b
B. -b > a + b D. b – a > a + b
Problem:

45. How much is left from a ₱100.00 bill after

paying for a dozen of mangoes at N pesos per
mango?

A. ₱100 – N (5 x 12) C. ₱100 – N ÷ (5 x 12)

B. ₱100 – N (12) D. ₱100 – (12 – N)
Solution:

Subtract the product of the quantity of

mango and the price per mango from 100
pesos.

Hence,
P100 – N (12)
Answer:

45. How much is left from a ₱100.00 bill after
